Gofman Shoves Into Laka

Level 32 : 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Another button raise by Aleksandr Gofman was called by David Laka and the Spaniard check-raised the flop of {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} with {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Gofman had continued for 12 million with {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for top pair and called the raise to 34 million.

On the {K-Diamonds} turn, Laka quickly bet 34 million and Gofman took more than two minutes to make up his mind. Laka called the clock and Gofman eventually moved all in to force a quick fold from Laka.
